Driving in Germany: Bundesstraße B70 from Meppen to Papenburg

In this video you can ride along on Bundesstraße B70 from Meppen to Papenburg in the Northwest of Germany (Niedersachsen). The B70 runs in parallel to the A31 Autobahn (Emden - Bottrop) and more or less follows the border with the Netherlands which is to the West (Left).
You can therefore also notice quite a few Dutch towns and cities being signed on this route and you may see quite a few yellow license plates as well. Filmed in winter, it all looks a little grim but I'm sure this can be a beautiful region when visiting in summer when all is green.
Meppen is a city near the border with over 30.000 inhabitants. Papenburg is around the same size in terms of inhabitants and is known for some of its industrial ports and canals. The meyer wharf outside of the city is known for building some of the world's largest cruise ships.

Some fast Germans and some slow Germans on this route. Quite some industrial zones along the Ems-river (or navigatable) canal running next to it.

The faster way is definitely the A31 but boring, drove it many times already 😀
